Spiritually alert

"Usually the Lord gives us the overall objectives to be accomplished and some guidelines to follow, but he expects us work out most of the details and methods. The methods and procedures are usually developed through study and prayer and by living so that we can obtain and follow the prompting of the Spirit. Less spiritually advanced people, such as those in the days of Moses, had to be commanded in many things. Today those spiritually alert look at the objectives, check the guidelines laid down by the Lord and his prophets, and then prayerfully act - without having to be commanded "in all things." This attitude prepares men for godhood."
-President Ezra Taft Benson, April Conference, 1965
